Kevin is first and foremost an expert on the U.S. economy. Having covered U.S. economic data for decades, his depth of knowledge and historical perspective is unmatched. He is also an extremely hardworking, pleasant and dedicated employee, manager and mentor. He has never been late to anything or on anything as far as I know and never fails to see a project or query through. He has mentored many younger reporters over the years we worked together and they have all learned a lot from him.

Kevin was an essential part of one of the most important product elements at MNI. The US economic data product was the standard in the industry and Kevin took care of that beat for many years. As an analyst and reporter, he was always rock solid, making certain that market sensitive information was presented as quickly and as effectively as possible, always anticipating the gems in each report that he knew our readers were anxious to read. His subject matter expertise was in high demand from MNI's clients, and they regularly consulted with him to get his take on the latest trends. As an accomplished writer and a wonderful team player, he frequently jumped in to assist his colleagues whenever the situation called for it. He is a true professional, dedicated to his craft and always a pleasure to work with. I consulted with Kevin often about MNI's mission and direction, and valued his counsel. He is a creative, dedicated, talented person, and I feel very lucky that I had the chance to work with him. Any organization would be fortunate to have him as part of their team.
